Effectiveness of the Guided Discovery Method in Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills in Physics at the Higher Secondary Level

Abstract

The present study attempts to Enhancing Critical thinking skills in physics at Higher Secondary Level. The study is concerned with finding out the Effectiveness of the Guided Discovery Method in Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills in Physics at Higher Secondary Level. Samples of 106 students were selected for the study. The analysis of data for examining the significance of hypotheses formulated in this context was performed using appropriate statistical techniques. Findings from this study revealed that there is significant difference between the control and experimental groups with respect to the post test scores for Critical thinking skills in physics at Higher Secondary Level. It finds that Effectiveness of the Guided Discovery Method in Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills in Physics at Higher Secondary Level and the method currently being practiced in the higher secondary schools of Kerala.
